Unfortunately, this shoe was of Tamaris for me too big. I had chosen this size, because I thought that they then do not push me forward so. War was wrong. I actually have the size 39 (39.5 better this size, there are almost no more), because that's the size 40 has such a thing. Otherwise, I liked the shoes very well. And so far I have always been lucky with shoes by Tamaris and was very pleased.
